The new line of 410 Ultra U-locks hits the sweet spot in price with a ?25-?35 MSRP. Abus recommends you invest 10 percent of your bike?s value in a lock" so those numbers seem pretty competitive to us. The new line consists of two basic variants: a Mini model with either a 5.5-inch or 7-inch shackle and with or without a cable for extra protection; a standard model with a 9-inch shackle" and optional cable; and finally a long shackle option with a massive 11-inch reach.
Each lock is built with a 12mm" Silver-rated" round steel shackle" which is double-bolted to protect against cutting or twisting attacks. Abus give this series a security rating of 8" which is not quite as high as some of its heavy duty variations" but very secure nonetheless. It has a hardened" but round lock body for ergonomics and ease-of-use. Yes" the Mini should fit in your back pocket. It also includes a frame bracket that can fit most bikes if you don?t want to carry it yourself.
